Thanks Shareholder, you're right the fare is pretty restrictive
<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">CHANGES - BEFORE DEPARTURE - CHARGE 50 PERCENT FOR REISSUE/ REVALIDATION. PENALTY CHARGE DOES NOT APPLY TO INFANTS PAYING 10 PERCENT OF THE ADULT FARE. CHANGES - AFTER DEPARTURE - NOT PERMITTED.</font>
Interesting that it's a 10-day advance rather than 7-day (i.e. deadline is tomorrow not Saturday).
But I'm wondering if I shouldn't just fly through LHR: lots of Y seats on the direct flight (i.e. 40k award) and it's only $500 LHR-FAO.
I was looking forward to seeing Rome, but it was a chicken-egg thing, I was seeing Rome because it was my preferred connection point, not the other way around.
